TILE MANUFACTURERS.

A Protest Against the Use of Foreign Tiles
in the New Pension Building.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHIN GToN, Jan. 18.-Jacksop Landers
manager of the United States Encaustic Tile
Company, indianapolis; r. Fisher. president of
the American Encaustic Tile Company, and
John c. Aldrich, chairman of the Star Encaus-
tic Tile Company, have filed protest against
the use of English manufactured thing for
floors in the new pension building here. 1t was
alleged. at the time the contract was made for
tiline this building, that combination had been
entered into by American manufacturers to run
the prices up. This seems to have been but a
subterfuae to favor imported goods in a govern
ment building. something that is not contem-
plated In our laws and customs. Speaking of
this matter to night, Mr.. Landers said to the
Journal correspondent: Mr. McGill. the con-
tractor, was offered tile at the time by the Amer
can Encaustic Thing Company, of GAINESVILLE,
O., by the United States Encaustic Tile
Company. of Indianapolis, and the Star
Eucaustic Tile Company, of Pittsburg
at exactly the, same prices they were
and had been selling tile to the trade The
prices were lower than frst-class English tile
could be imported for. The story about combi-
nations was simply pretext for introducing an
inferior grade OF English tile. Protection does
protect the consumer as we'll as the manufactnr-
er, and this may be seen from the fact that to-
day tiles are sold in bulk by American manu-
facturers at less than one-half the price charged
bv importers before commencement Of work by
the industry in this country. and government.
for whose work tiles are, under certain circum-
stances, imported free of duty, can now have a
floor laid of American tile at saving CT at least
so per cent on the prices paid fifteen years ago,
when English tiles were exclusively used. Ten
years ago the court house at indianapolis was
tiled with English tile, some $4,000 square feet
being used, and the price paid was 65 cents per
square foot. Protection has protected the gov
ernment in the pension floor to the extent of at
lenst % cents per square foot. A portion of the
work in the Indianapolis courthouse was'defect-
ive and it has since been relaid with American
tile. The contract here. for work in govern
ment building, was let to favor English manu-
facturers, and is g discrimination against home
manufacturers"

Amazement OF Two Fashionable DANES Who

Amusement Of Two Fashionable Danes Who
Appeared in Similar Costumes.
Special to the Indianapolis Jnurnai.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16-The town has not ret
ceased to talk Of the strange incidents of the
British minister's ball-that OF two ladies ap-
pearing in precisely the same costume-even to
the number of beads in the trimming. The wife
of prominent diplomatic ordered dress lest
summer from Worth-a dress that would sug-
gest armor. A New Yorker visiting Paris at the
time the dress was completed was shown this
latest accomplishment of WORTH and when told
that it was for diplomate's spouse ordered It's
duplicate-never imagining that the original was
to be sent to America. The second dress was
sent to New York in due course Each of the
ladies determined to wear the dress for the first
time at the ball OF the British minister. At
1l:30 the wife of the diplomatic entered the room.
The hum of conversation gave way TO buzz or
admiration at the glittering and uniquely beau
tiful costume. This buzz had but slightly dt-
minished when, at ten minutes before midnight,
the lady from New York appeared. The wonder
of the spectators cannot be compared with the
amazement Of the simiiarly-dressed ladies' who
were not acquainted. During tho evening they
were presented to each other. and the whispered
explanation of both was not repeated until sew

Communication from the President as to the
Proposed Celebration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18-The President sent
the following message to Congress to-day:
''To the Senate and House of Representatives:
.As matter of national interest, and one
solely within the discretion and control of Con-
gress, transmit the accompanying memorial of
the executive committee of the sub-constitu-
tional centennial commission, proposing to eele-
brate the 18th of September, 1887. in the city of
PHILADELPHIA, as the day upon which and the
place where the convention that framed the
federal Constitution concluded their labors, and
submitted the result for ratification to the
thirteen States then composing the United
States. The epoch was one of the deepest in
terest and its events are well worthy of the
commemoration. l am aware that, as each
State acted independently in giving its adhesion
to the new Constitution, the dates and ami.
yersaries of their several ratifcatons are not
coincident. Some action looking to a
national expression in relation to the
celebration of the close of the first century of
popular government under written constitu-
ton has already been suggested, and stating the
great interest snare in the renewed examina-
tion by the American people of the historical
foundation of their government, do not feel
warranted in discriminating in favor OF or
against the propositions to select one day or
place in preference to all others. and therefore
content myself with conveying to Congress these
expressions of popular feeling and interest upon
the subject, hoping that in spirit of patriotic
cooperation, rather than of local competition. fit
| ting measures may be enacted by Congress which
| will give the amplest opportunity all over these
| United States for the manifestation of the af-
| lection and confidence of free and mighty
| nation in the institution OF government OF
which they are the fortunate inheritors, and un-
| der which unexampled prosperity has been en-
Joy ed by all classes and conditions in social
| system. GROVER CLEVELAND.

He ought to have been elected in the winter
of 1871 said he, ''and would have been but Tor
the lack of confidence the part of General
Logan. My brother saw that Logan could not
be elected and that it must be either he or @
Democrat He went to Logan and told him that
if he gave him the election he would hold the
place six months, then resign, aud that The Gov
ernor would then appoint him lboganl in his
stead. General Logan: however would not trust
my brother, though they had always been good
friends. The result was that David Davis was
elected. Logan might have relied on my broth
ers word implicitly, but he always had that sus-
picious quality in his nature His well-known
noble qualities, however, more than make
amends for this weakness.
Il remember when he was sent down to Nash

of the army there, that when he arrived and saw
wha. brave and capable man General Thomas
was he became convinced that i, would be un
just to remove him. Acting on this, he never
presented his papers at all, but wrote to the War
Department at Washington. stating what he be-

General Thomas remained ip command and

DEALING IN WOOD.

II used to think that men had an awfnlly
easy time said Mrs. Franks, but I've
changed my mind, and hereafter I'm going to
take all the care of Charles / possibly can.
You see, the other morning told Charles We
wanted some wood, and to be sure and order
some. Well, 1 waited all day. and that wood
didn't come, and was almost angry, for, said
/, he has forgotten it, as usual.
Charles didn't come home until late-long
after I retired He had to go to his club, and
it seems he was detained until after midnight
He was awfully restless. and kept talking in
his sleep, saying every once in awhile. Give
me another dollars worth of chips. So you
see / knew his mind was troubled about that
wood How much it must have worried him
to thus disturb his rest.
Don't you worry about wood, or any
thing else, but come and get one of
those Unlaundered White Shirts, linen
bosom, reinforced, extra good, for 38
cents. No other house can sell you as
good one for "halluf dollar"
